Is there a standard GNAT package for named pipes? I have looked but have
found nothing. The package GNAT.Expect seems promising but it says it
emulates the TCL expect tool. After reading web articles on TCL and Expect
it probably does not do what I want.
Trolling thru the web suggests that named pipes are not equal/the same
across platforms - ie Win32 named pipes are not the same as Unix pipes. I
confess to knowing zip about Unix. Can I assume the reason there is no
standard GNAT package for named pipes is because it cannot be portable?
I am in the process of converting an OS/2 Ada 83 program to OS/2 & Win32
Ada95 and am trying to reduce the number of platform dependancies. I've
never really done any serious programming in Ada 95 until now and am
discovering some really neat stuff in Ada 95 that didn't exist in Ada 83.
OK so I'm 10 years late but I'm only doing it for fun - to keep the grey
cells active.
Cheers & TIA
Paul
